Washington Government Approved First Net-Neutrality Regulation

Separately, 21 states, including Washington and OR, have filed a petition to appeal the FCC's action in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in another attempt to block the repeal of the federal net neutrality rules. The Washington Post piece is fair-minded, to be sure, but it's worth noting that nothing can truly be known on this score until FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's repeal of net neutrality rules goes into effect.

Gov. Jay Insleesigned a bill that effectively means the Obama-era net neutrality rules seemingly favored by much of the public will remain in force in the state.

More:Net neutrality: The FCC voted to end it. The dismantling of the nationwide rules, approved by the Federal Communications Commission previous year, set off a fierce outcry from consumers and tech companies.

The decision to keep net neutrality rules in the state - a move which 25 other states, including California, Illinois, and NY, are also considering - presents a rather curious conundrum. "Without it, the free and equal exchange of ideas is at risk".

Indeed we do. Keep up this important fight.

Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia, led by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, filed a suit federal court in Washington, D.C., last month challenging the FCC's new rules. We are also very proud that OR is about to get a similar (albeit narrower) law.
